PEOPLE make poor life choices all the time, but Dispensary Corner is baffled by a Boston-based pharmacist's decision to distribute falsified COVID-19 vaccination (COVAX) certificates.
The ill-considered decision has cost the unnamed pharmacist their job, and with the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Pharmacy now investigating, they could be fined or booted from the profession, Boston 25 News reported.
The pharmacist's fraud was uncovered by a colleague at a Stop and Shop store, who noticed that the pharmacy had more doses of COVID-19 vaccines than it should based on the number of patients who had supposedly been vaccinated there.
A search through the pharmacy's records revealed that dozens of vaccine cards had been issued to people who had not filled out consent forms.
Strangely for a health profession this was not the first time when pharmacists have fraudulently produced COVAX certificates (PD 11 Mar).
